Heavy rains have fallen in various
parts of the country recently and as
will be seen Augusta has been flooded
and great damage done all along the
Savannah. There has been consld'
erable rainfall in Newberry but so
far the rivers have not been but very
little over the banks and the damage
has been slight. Some of the smaller
streams have overfowed and damaged
the bottom corn to some extent. Com
paratively but little damage has as
yet been done in Newberry. 1nfor-
mation yesterday was that Saluda
and Broad rivers were but little over
the banks, and the indications were
that the wet spell had broken.

Edgefeld County's Master DeclT ed a
Defaulter.
Special to the Ne,rS and Courier.

ISDPclUL 10 [iIS " GUS uUtt COuTtcI.
EDGEFIELD, August 1.-The height
Of interest to-day centred in a special
report, which, it was understood, the
grand jury had to present to the Court
concerning the offices and affairs of the
county. The report speaks for itself
and is as follows:
1--WE find the Masters office in a de-
plorable condition. Without thorough
examination of his looks from the time
of his appointment, to office to the pres
ent date, there are no books by which
we can find out the amount OF money
in his hands belonging to his office.
From his last annual report it appears
that he had on aand at that time S., 7l6 81.
He claims that since that report he has
received sl0,532, and has paid out SILL
3O5 55. This shows balance still on
hand of 81, ,942 80. He states that he has
$1,325 in money and drafts deposited in
the safe of Calvin Hart, $3,992 in the
Central Railroad Bank OF Columbia. He
has no certificate Of deposit or bank
note. In order to be able to make re-
port, we telesraphed to the comptroller
general to tiud out the amount deposited
in the Central National Bank of Colum-
bia, and his reply was balance to
credit of Master of Fdgefeld County
$56,43.
1--WE saw so many evidences OF irregu-
larities and nisappropriatiou that we
believe him to be a defaulter to a con-
siderable amount"
The report has created big sensa-
ton. Mr.. S. S. Tompkins, the Master,
is nearly seventy years OF age.

.SDecial to the Ne,rs and Courier.


COLUMBIA, August "A special stock
holders meeting of the Charleston, Gin
cinnati and Chicago RHilroad was held in
the Grand Central Hotel to-day. The
meeting lasted for about four houls. The
general manager, Col johnson, and sew
eral of the directors were present.
The consolidation of tie Georgia and
Carolina Midland Railroad with the Three
Cs was completed. It was decided that
this branch should be called the Augusta
division of the Charleston, Cincinnati and
Chicago Road, and all the Indebtedness of
the Georgia and Carolioa Midland will be
iquidated at once. This should convince
any who may have been skepticel that the
Charleston, Cincinnati end Chicago Rail
road Company is in earnest, and the poo
pie in the section of country through
which the Aus 1sta division viii ruu are
to be congratulated upon having the
Three C's take hold of Their road.
Resolutions were passcd accepting the
Acts of the last Legislatures of South
Carolina, Noltn Carolina, Vire MA, Ten
nessce and Kentucky favorable to the
Three Cs.
President Cox was expected to-day but
did not put in an appearance. 1t is now
vely probable that the line on the Angus
ia division, from Union to Gafney City
will soon be located. This road is ex.
pected to connect " ..th the main line at OF
near Forest City, Rutherford County, n
G. This will make an almost air l:ne from
Ashton, on the Ohio River, to Augusta.
The surveying corps of the Three Cs
under Capt. o. A. Ramsur, hes just ar,
lived at Union and Will now run over the
entire line from Union to Augusta for the
purpose of changing the alignment wher
practicable and reducing the grades
When this is done force of hands VI
be put upon this section of the road anC
the work will be rushed. Capt. Ramsoul
and bis corps, upon reaching Augusta as
stated above, Will return to Union anC
survey the i1e to Gafney City, and on tc
a point on the main line of the Three Cs
probably by way of High Shoals, N. c..
where large cotton factory is being bu 7
by Charlotte people.
The general manager stat: that vteen
thousand shares of stock, or s1,6 o0 !
was represented at the meeting to-day,
The stock of record of tho company is

The - M Crow Car" Case.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-In the case
of w. ii. Heard, the colored man who
complained to the Interstate commerce
commission against the Georgia Railroad
Company, that he was refused frst-class
accommodations !; I'd was compelled to
ride in the 'Jim-Crow Cal" the respond
ent demprs to the complainant's petit
ton upon val.ous grounds, questions the
jurisdiction OF tie Court, and then
without wal, ng either demurrer or
plea, proceeds to answer the complaint.
The answer says:
"The petitioner claims that he was
not permitted to ride in 81 tirst-elass
coach of the said Georgia Railroad, but
was compelled to ride in what is known
as the 'Jim-Crow car" The respond
ent replies that it has in no way given
or authorized such designation of any
car on its road, and if, when the conf
plainant says that the car on which he
rode is known as the ''Jim-Crow cal"
he means {, say that the respondent is
in any way responsible for this desig-
nation and implied contempt for its in
mates, respondent denies such allega-
tions. At the Augusta end OF the re-
spondent's main line there is an accom-
modafion train running ont of Augusta
twenty-five mills, and spoken OF popu-
larly as the ''Picayune." At the At
lanta end a similar train is known to its
patrons and dwellers along the
line as "The Goober." But these
designations or nick-names are mere
ly etfusinns of popular pleasantly
beyond the control of the lespon-
dent, and considered by the respon-
dent up to this time, (perhaps er-
roneonsly) as entirely innoeuous. II
any of the respondents cars have been
spoken OF by eIil-disposed persons as
"Jim- Crow cars" respondent is not
aware of it, but prays that if the fact is
shown to exist the commission, if its
large powers extend to such a case
afford to such case, afford appropriate
and adequate relief to respondent"
The answer further ayers that cars
provided for the colored passengers are
equally as safe, comfortable, clean and
we'll ventilated and cared for as those
provided for the whites. 1t says that {:
1.-The differences, if any, relate to
matters &C: thetical only and consist in
higher ornamentation and matters OF
that sort, rather than in those which
affectthe substantial conditions OF safety,
comfort and convenience.
The paper is signed by Jos. Cum
miugs, general counsel of the Georgia
Railroad Company.

A Grateful Catnrrh Sufferer.

Gentlemen-I have been victim OF
catarrh for seventeen years. The mys-
terry of those years cannot be compre-
hcnsibly told to those VINO have never
been troubled with catarrh. During
those years tried all the physicians
I had access to, and all the remedies l
saw recommended for catarrh. But /
got relief from none. Last year / heard
OF the cure OF neighbor OF mine who
had used S. S. S.. and l therefore began
TO take it. I commenced last fall, and
continued its use until the coolest part
of the winter, when stopped. The
medicine gave ME the first relief l had
in seventeen years, and continued to
grow better all the while was taking
the medicine, and during the cold wealth
er when had ceased its use. My left
nostril was about closed with polypus
when I began taking S. S. S., and now
that is about gone, and feel very much
better than have fol years. l shall
continue he medicine for Il few months
longer. that may entirely eradicate
the disease from which have suffered
so much. Ny fist relief came through
your valuable and efficscionS S. S. S.
With gratitude, am yours truly,
w. N. F1NDLEY.

THROUGH FREIGHT
An Important 4: lrOad Freight Com
b:natiO

PHILADELPHIA, July 3n.--Frank
Thompson, vice president Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, had All interview
Yesterday with the managers OF Import
ant railway lines leading south from
Washington, and concluded negotia-
tions for one of the most important rail-
way traffic arrangements ever entered
into by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The arrangements provide for the
formation of three through Southern
lines in order to cover the expense and
DELAYS by numerous transfers incident
to the shipment of freight from cities
and interior points in the South destined
to POINTS North reached by the Penn
sylvania Railroad system. There were
present at the interview John Robinson,
president of the Seaboard and Roanoke
Railroad; II. Walters. general manager
OF the Atlantic Coast Line; E. B. Thom-
as, general manger OF the Richmond
and Danville Railroad; Sol Haas, traffic
manager of the Virginia Midland Rail-
road, and John S. Wilson, general
freight agent of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road.
Three through freight lines are ar
ranged TO cover all the important South
ern territory reached by the roads ont
Of Washing on and will run as follows ::
One line 10 run via the VirS mia Mid
land Railroad and Richmond and Dam
vile Railroad the second 10 ruu via the
Atlantic Coast Line and the third via
Wilmington, Norfolk, Richmond and
Portsmouth.
Each OF the companies interested VII
furnish its quota of cars and, when es-
tabli>hed, will provide all the rail con-
nection, which will undoubtedly have
a great Influence in promoting the bnsI-
ness interests Of the South. Vice
President Thompson has already il
structed that the cars to be provided by
the Pennsylvania Railroad shall be
promptly assigned to this service, ard
it is the intention Of all parties inte-
rested to proceed at once TO get these
through lines in operation at the earliest
date possible.
